What reading level is The Victory of Cupid book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
alas !
She cradles fair Endymion in her arms And will not hear a helpless maiden's cry.
I am alone helpless and miserable !
Chased to the woods by clownish lovers' vows And back again by yet more hateful ones And to the woods again by all combined, And all because I am so beautiful.
Oh, I wish I were as old and chasmed As these rocks which arch above the wood, And in whose shaggy bosom I will now Seek out some cheerless refuge for myself.
(Turns to the left and sees Sestus.) (Cupid shoots her w...ith a golden arrow.) Versanta (in surprise).
But who is this comes dropping from the sky, What is your name, oh, fair-haired passer-by?
Sestus.
My name is Sestus, shepherding my occupation.
Versanta.
There dwells an ancient shepherd in our village Of that same name who greatly dotes on me.
18 THE VICTORY OF CUPID Sestus.
And he is here, Versanta — I am he !
Versanta {laughing.) Oh, indeed, you are as witty as you are beautiful !
Sad Satyr.
Why, boys, this goes too smoothly to suit me, How did old Sestus make himself so young?
